A contract with this world? [Mmm...]

It's possible. While I don't feel any connection to these lands, that could also be a result of whatever is dampening our abilities.

[It's conjecture, however, in the same vein as "we don't know so all we can do is theorize", and that is... frustrating.

It will do him no good to express it, however, and so he switches gears instead.]

Your name? I saw it on the small device, but I prefer doing these things in person.
